Thanks! I18n for the notebook is a great project for the GSOC. Could some people working on the notebook help with the items under the notebook heading. AFAICT, * authentication, * presentation mode, * export to latex (or any other proper export to a printable format), sound like good projects. I'd personally appreciate a presentation mode the most and William had done a lot of the work already (#6342). :) Since we're definitely applying as a mentoring organization, I suggest we put a link to the project list from the homepage to attract students. Harald, Minh, could you take care of this?
